Messaging

I'm kinda bummed here. I just got my DROID last week and was told that all messaging was free. Well, I just typed (on the keyboard) a message, sent it and a message popped up saying it was being converted to (disappeared to fast to read the whole thing) and I would be charged. :icon_eek:

Does it make a difference if you use the keyboard? I've sent messages from the touch pad and never received a pop-up message.

Can someone please explain???

It may have said your message was being converted to MMS. I think messages over a certain length are automatically converted.

That sounds about right - and it was kinda lengthy. What is MMS? I'm so new to this stuff.

My bad ~ I guess I misunderstood him. Just called them and web and email are free but I opted to pay an add'l $5/mth for texting because since I got the Droid (less than a week ago) it already totals $4.60 for 23 messages. :icon_eek: Now I have 227 more to go. :icon_ banana:
